Sharks' Nico Sturm: Pockets helper in win
Sturm notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Sturm snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 29-year-old has played on the fourth line over the last nine games since he returned from an upper-body injury. He has nine points, 19 shots on net, 35 hits and 12 blocked shots through 27 outings. Sturm is mostly a defensive forward, and while he's on a better pace than last year (13 points in 63 games), he's unlikely to produce enough offense to help most fantasy managers.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Scores in return
Sturm scored a goal in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.
Sturm missed five contests due to an upper-body injury and logged 10:54 of ice time in his return. His tally came 1:47 into the game to give the Sharks a quick 1-0 lead. The 29-year-old forward has played in a bottom-six role throughout the season, and given the relative weakness of San Jose's offense, that's not an enticing role for fantasy. Sturm has made the best of it with four goals, three assists, 16 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-2 rating over 19 appearances, but that's not production that will get him onto many virtual rosters.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Activated off IR
Sturm (upper body) has been removed from injured reserve ahead of Monday's matchup with the Kings, per the NHL media site.
Sturm looks set to take on a bottom-six role with his upper-body injury seemingly behind him. Prior to his five-game absence, the 29-year-old center recorded five points, 11 hits and nine blocked shots in his previous 10 outings. Given his limited offensive upside, Sturm is unlikely to offer much fantasy value moving forward.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Considered game-time decision
Sturm (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against Los Angeles, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Sturm has spent the last week on injured reserve due to an upper-body injury, but he'll be in the mix to return to action against the Kings. However, the Sharks want to see how he feels in the hours leading up to puck drop, and if he isn't cleared to return Monday, his next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against Ottawa.

The Sharks brought up netminder Yaroslav Askarov from AHL San Jose in a corresponding move due to an injury to Vitek Vanecek (undisclosed).

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Scores in loss
Sturm scored a goal and added five hits in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Sturm's first goal of the season came at 19:41 of the second period, but the Sharks didn't carry that momentum into the final frame. The fourth-liner has two points, six shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-3 rating over nine appearances. While he may see steady playing time with little risk of losing his place in the lineup, Sturm doesn't score enough to help most fantasy managers.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Finds assist in shootout loss
Sturm logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.
Sturm set up Ty Dellandrea's second-period tally. The 29-year-old Sturm has started 2024-25 in a fourth-line role, though he saw 13:06 of ice time in this contest. The center has five hits, two PIM and a minus-1 rating over three games. Sturm's biggest contributions typically come from hits and defense, but his limited role on a rebuilding team makes him a non-factor for most fantasy formats.

Sturm registered an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blues.
Sturm hasn't scored in his last 13 games, but he has two helpers over his last four outings.

The 28-year-old Sturm is up to 12 points, 59 shots on net, 62 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating through 52 appearances this season. He continues to maintain a middle-six role, but as a more defensive center, Sturm has little fantasy upside in a weak offense.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Logs helper Tuesday
Sturm provided an assist in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.
Sturm has two goals and an assist over his last five games, representing solid production for a middle-six forward in a weak offense. The 28-year-old has centered the Sharks' third line in recent games while playing a more defensive role. He's at 11 points, 41 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-11 rating through 42 appearances this season, so he doesn't need to be tracked closely in fantasy.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Scores shortie on former team
Sturm scored a shorthanded goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Wild.
Sturm has been an important player for the Sharks during a tough season, but even compared to his modest production in prior seasons, it has been hard for fantasy managers to rely on him. Sunday's tally brings Sturm to just five goals and 10 points through 41 games. There isn't much reason to believe things will change, as Sturm averages just one shot per game.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Set to play Thursday
Sturm (head) is good to play Thursday versus Calgary, per Max Miller of The Hockey News.
Sturm left Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Winnipeg because of a hit from Logan Stanley, but it seems he won't miss a full game due to the injury. Sturm has three goals and seven points in 33 outings in 2023-24. He's projected to serve on the third line versus the Flames.

Sharks' Nico Sturm: Sustains injury Wednesday
Sturm (head) sustained an injury after taking a hit from Logan Stanley in Wednesday's game versus the Jets, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
There was no update on Sturm after the game, but he was pointing to his head as he left the ice following the hit. The 28-year-old has seven points through 33 outings this season, so he's not a player fantasy managers will need to keep tabs on. If Sturm can't play Thursday versus the Flames, Kevin Labanc may enter the lineup.
